I was asked my name when I went to get a cup of coffee some few weeks back.
I looked at the person serving me and said: "I am The Customer."
I regret not adding "you can call me Sir"
Over a two quid cup of kwaffee?I looked at the person serving me and said: "I am The Customer."
I regret not adding "you can call me Sir"
Wow, you hero you.
Or do I need a woosh parrot...?
When I worked in retail the store I worked in did this from time to time. Usually for customer profiling, how far they had travelled etc.
However if a customer did not want to provide the information, we were under strict instruction not to see it as an issue and just proceed as normal.
Some heavy handed store manager has probably decided every customer must do it, I can't see head office agreeing.

I mean....coffee FFS, and a franchise's weak attempt to engage.

Had this happen in a yard a while ago, wouldnt sell me a couple of planks of bloody wood until i gave them a car registration. Gave them one i'd scrapped 20 years ago. Yard guy saw as i was leaving and gave it the " you shouldn't have done that mate" bks.
Why?
Seriously, fkING WHY. For a couple of pieces of fking wood. Who gives a fk what vehicle takes it away? Private customer, not paying trade rates, for a job in my own garden. There is no logical reason i can think of for this information being needed. Anyway, long story short i bummed his dog. There's something very wrong with the world when we put up with this sort of petty nonsense and i suspect i'm not the only one who's fed up of it. Maybe it's an age thing, so much privacy has been lost in the last few years.

I worked in a store that did similar (it was used for warranty purposes in case receipts were lost but also used for marketing, profiling and fraud prevention behind the scenes) - but eventually it became a target and suddenly certain people got very pushy for it.However if a customer did not want to provide the information, we were under strict instruction not to see it as an issue and just proceed as normal.

Getting all powerfully built on them and declaring "Thou shall call me sir and be grateful" is a bit...well......st?
